No. I'm Justin Jackson, professor of English at Hillsdale College. (Fundraising is particularly important at Hillsdale College compared to other liberal arts schools because it declines to accept federal funds; the independence that allows would seem to be somewhat diminished insofar as it requires close ties to one political faction. This position, to me, is vacuous. Many of us were understandably drawn to the ideals of virtue, character, and truth in which the college cloaked itself. I know many faculty quite well, and I'd put "enthusiastic Trump supporters" in the decided minority of the faculty (and the student body; more on that below).
